Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 70
WGO Food Organization, Headquarters.

Nakiri Shinagi, who was wearing silk pajamas, was sitting elegantly in front of the window at the moment, looking into the distance with slightly dull eyes, as if lost in his own thoughts.

A pretty figure was coming to her room silently at this moment.

"came back?"

Hearing the light footsteps, Nakiri Managi regained consciousness for a moment and turned to look at Annie.

"Yes."

"Master Nagi."

Looking at Nagi Nakiri in front of her, Anne had a look of admiration and excitement on her face.

"What did you gain from this trip to inspect restaurants in various places?"

"This one……"

Annie, not daring to neglect, quickly opened the thick "THE BOOK" in her hand and continued: "This time we inspected 1035 potential restaurants, of which 34 were promoted from one star to two stars!"

"34?"

“The number is smaller than in previous years!”

Hearing this, Nakiri Shinagi frowned deeply and continued: "How many new three-star restaurants are there?"

"1 houses!"

"Only one new store?"

Shinagi immediately felt lost.

Is there really no hope in today’s culinary world?

After thinking about it, she only felt more physically and mentally tired, and her bright eyes were inevitably full of disappointment: "If I still can't find a dish that can conquer God's Tongue, with my current physical condition, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive next year!"

"It seems we can't wait any longer. This year's THE BLUE Cooking Championship must be held in advance."

“It is even necessary to further relax the qualification conditions to allow more talented young chefs to participate.”

"It really doesn't work."

"I can only support those late-night cooks!"

……

Seeing the disappointment on Nakiri Managi's face, Anne next to her could only sigh softly.

Potential chefs have been inspected one by one by their group of executives over the years.

In the end, the conclusion was reached that there is no chef or cuisine in this world that can break the curse of God's Tongue!

Simultaneously.

Judging from the situation this year.

The overall decline in the culinary industry is more serious than they predicted.

After all, with the advancement of supply chain and logistics technologies such as food processing, refrigeration, and freshness preservation.

More and more restaurants, food ingredients suppliers, etc. are beginning to adopt a set of standardized processes to produce products, and use this to achieve rapid development.

The most typical one is the emergence of prepared dishes.

For this kind of thing, you usually only need to wash and cut the vegetables in advance, marinate the meat in advance, and then deliver it in bags to stores in various places.

Then, the staff only need to cut open the bag, put the processed ingredients into the steaming cabinet, steam them briefly and then the meal is ready.

To be sure.

Pre-prepared meals are convenient and standardized.

But under this model, the entire society will greatly reduce its reliance on and requirements for chefs, which is very detrimental to the future of the entire culinary industry.

Although prepared meals are packaged and sold, they are often claimed to resemble home-cooked meals.

But in fact, its taste and texture should be far inferior to naturally cooked food.

Especially during processing, a large amount of preservatives and seasonings need to be used, which may make the food taste impure and lack freshness and naturalness.

So in Annie's opinion, even if THE BLUE Cooking Championship is held in advance, it will probably be of no use!
In desperation, she began to frown, as if she was thinking about what to say.

Zhang, the owner of the Izakaya, can undoubtedly break the curse of the God's Tongue with his cooking!

However, the biggest problem at the moment is how to convince Nakiri Shinagi to put down her dignity and go to the izakaya? …

"Annie."

"You have worked hard during this period, go back and rest early!"

Finally, he looked at Anne who was distracted.

Nakiri Shinagi thought she was tired, so he stood up and patted her shoulder gently, indicating that she should go back and have a good rest.

"Okay... okay."

"Samagi-sama, you should also rest early."

Anne, who wanted to tell Nakiri Shina what she saw and heard in the izakaya, could only respond respectfully.

Then, she turned slightly and wanted to leave the room.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a feeling of dizziness suddenly hit Nagiri Managi's head, making her feel that everything in front of her was spinning.

boom!
After a sound.

In Annie's astonishment, she fell to the ground.

"An...Annie, hurry...give me the nutrient solution, I...I'm about to die..."

Involuntarily, the weak Nakiri Shinagi pointed his finger at Anne who had not yet left.

And those eyes that were about to turn white began to be filled with a strong "desire to survive." Apparently the loss of her own life made her fear her impending death!
"Master Nagi."

"You...you...you have to hold on."

As Nakiri Shinagi's secretary, Anne knows how dangerous this situation is.

Therefore, she ran out in a panic, and then quickly brought a bottle of nutrient solution and injected it into Nakiri Managi's body!
……

"Whoo~"

"full HP resurrection."

“Sure enough, it’s a nutrient solution from abroad with the best quality!”

"At this moment, I can feel that the electrolytes of glucose, vitamins and minerals in my body are diffusing and flowing rapidly!"

After a shot of nutrient solution was poured down, Nagiri Shinagi, who was already dying, stood up immediately.

She shook her hands a few times, and after realizing that her body was full of strength again, her face couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction and comfort.

"that."

"Master Nagi."

"Did you not inject the nutrient solution on time?"

Looking at Nakiri Shinagi whose expression had returned to normal, Annie here might have guessed something and couldn't help but frown and asked.

"Annie!"

"You know."

"I asked someone to find the largest and longest-lived white catfish in the world, and cut caviar from its body..."

"Master Nagi."

"Inject nutrient solution on time, but the doctor has repeatedly warned me."

"Please don't be so willful again. Fortunately, I'm here this time, otherwise I can't imagine how this tragedy will end?"

Listening to Nakiri Shinagi's words, Annie quickly understood what was going on.

Although caviar is a particularly precious ingredient, especially the caviar taken from the body of the largest white catfish, it is an even more delicacy!

But Anne knew very well that let alone caviar, even the peaches falling from the sky would probably not satisfy God's Tongue.

"Ok."

"I was careless this time."

"Annie, I promise you it won't happen like this next time."

Seeing Anne's sadness and helplessness, Nakiri Managi could only say softly.
